Mike Tyson's Greatest Hits DVD.. ESPN takes you ringside for some of
boxing’s greatest hits!
BE IT A hurricane, a tornado or an earthquake, when you see a force of
nature coming your way the only thing you can do is get out of its way or
prepare for the worst. For the professional fighters who took on the young Mike
Tyson in these, some of his earliest bouts, getting out of his way just wasn’t
an option. With explosive power, pinpoint accuracy and a furious intensity that
was unleashed at the sound of the first bell, the question these fighters –
and the wider world of boxing – had to ask was: could this man ever be
contained?
Mike Tyson, or ‘Kid Dynamite’ as he was aptly known at this early stage
of his career, was simply too powerful for the array of opponents he faced. It
took 20 professional fights for a Tyson bout to go the distance, with 12 of
those 19 Kos coming in the first round as he clawed his way towards national
recognition and a shot at the title.
Now is your chance to see for yourself the sheer power of the young Tyson,
and to witness the start of a career and a life that would live on in fame –
and infamy – for generations to come.
